For example, \/aj+n?\/ is realized as [ajd?], with n desonorizing to d, with *jn having a sonority drop too small to be permitted.  Partly motivated by this observation, Gouskova proposes a relational constraint hierarchy based on sonority distance between C1 and C2 alone.  However, a closer look at the data leads to a more complicated picture, revealing that an approach based solely on the sonority distance between two segments cannot work.  Although glide-nasal (*jn) sequences are prohibited, glide-lateral (jl) sequences are permitted, despite having an even smaller sonority drop.  In this talk, I will motivate the need for an alternative account to SyllCon in languages which resolve violations via desonorization.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Hanzhi Zhu (MIT) Title: The Syllable Contact Law in Kyrgyz Date: Tuesday, November 2nd Time: 5-6:30 Place: 32-D831 Kyrgyz (Turkic) has been described as a language which abides by the Syllable Contact Law by requiring a drop in sonority (Gouskova 2004).
